Looks like 9% of the 18-29 turned out . PPP nailed it. Again.

They did. Which should be a wake up call to us to abandon this idea that 1000's of college kids who do not normally vote will vote because of Paul. While we do very well with the young people that do vote, we need to shift our focus away from creating new young voters and market the message and candidate to the 29 and above crowd that actually do regularly vote.

The kids are notoriously unreliable as voters. I think Ron likes talking to them to create a movement for the future. I'd rather see the money and time directed into a viable 3rd party movement than wasted on a long shot GOP race. Oh well, he's got my vote either way.

I abandoned that idea in 2008. I agree 100%. I was mostly stressing the point.
